Hello n8n team, this is not the first time I have edited a template to upload it to the template marketplace, but it cannot pass moderation in any way. Please tell me where the errors are described, I could not find the reasons for the refusal. Best regards

it’s not clear through Images, can you more elaborate your question?

@Tina_Anit

**Likely issues & how to fix them:**

1. **Template description is too vague**  
→ Clearly explain _what the workflow does_, _inputs_, _outputs_, and _limitations_. Avoid marketing language.

2. **Missing or unclear credentials setup**  
→ Explicitly document how users should configure the OpenAI / KIE.AI credentials and required environment variables.

3. **Node naming & structure**  
→ Ensure all nodes have clear, descriptive names and no unused or disabled nodes remain.

4. **Hard-coded values**  
→ Replace hard-coded prompts, models, or URLs with parameters or clearly documented defaults.

5. **Error handling missing**  
→ Add basic error handling (e.g., failed API response, empty input, invalid image URL).

6. **Marketplace compliance**  
→ Verify the template follows n8n marketplace rules:

7. **README / Notes section incomplete**  
→ Add a short “How to use”, “Expected input”, and “Example output” section.

**Next step:**  
Re-submit after addressing the above and explicitly mention in the resubmission notes what was changed. This usually speeds up approval.

Hey @Tina_Anit!

Here’s the template you submitted:

 ![2026-01-27_14-05](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/0/0/0038c44ae942ec155b4554aa3f800f9a8bdafbe4.png)

… and here’s our feedback:

 ![2026-01-27_14-06](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/4/b/4b348ea8a7f1e62e4ea722ae244d0ee31004d598.png)

For spelling - fix “OpenAi” to “OpenAI” in the title

Regarding sticky notes - [check out our guidelines here](https://n8n.notion.site/Sticky-note-guidelines-for-templates-2aa5b6e0c94f8058b0aefddd02655887). We’re basically expecting you to have one “main” sticky note that describes what the workflow does and how to set it up.

Hope this helps 😉

Miha
